Righteousness

In her sermon, Evangelist Martha P. Davis explores the theme of God's righteousness, emphasizing its distinct nature compared to human self-righteousness. Drawing from scriptures like Hebrews 1, Isaiah 64, and Matthew 5, she highlights that God’s righteousness is perfect, pure, and unchanging, while human righteousness is as "filthy rags" without God's intervention. She stresses that righteousness must come through faith in God, as exemplified by figures like Abel, who was deemed righteous for his faith and humility. Evangelist Davis encourages believers to seek God's righteousness through prayer, submission, and the cleansing power of Christ’s blood, which alone can make one holy. Lastly, she calls on women, in particular, to rise up in prayer, undergirding the work of the kingdom through intercession, so that God's righteousness may bring peace and spiritual renewal.
